The Silenced and Forgotten

The Silenced and Forgotten.

T.S.A.F. (Spoken as "Saf".)

Who is TSAF...?



TSAF is a member of The New York Initiative. A Brooklyn-based real life superhero group. Featured in the HBO documentary SUPERHEROES which aired this past Monday.

The documentary keeps the audience from seeing a full face shot of most of the masked crime-fighters, but offers these teases...

So we return to the question, Who is TSAF?

On Facebook, her profile name is "Kukomi Tsaf Yoneda". Co-founder of The New York Initiative.

About Kukomi:

"We are individuals organized towards achieving peacekeeping objectives and humanitarian missions. This will translate into a variety of non-monetary services as unfolding events demand. Our primary goal will always be to help those in the most need, to the highest ethical standard and to the maximum effect. We are the New York Initiative."

TSAF and many of the other real life superheroes were inspired to pursue this work by the murder of Kitty Genovese. You know the story: woman stabbed to death near her home while a bunch of her neighbors stood by and did nothing.


Behold my demented attempt to piece together a portrait of TSAF's face using available pics and amateur-night Photoshop skills. Hey, we do what we have to do sometimes.

TSAF is a stone cold fox who kicks ass. Stay safe tonight.
